We can't really know. That supply is really almost zero considering the size of the DEMAND. That was for high risk expats for all of Thailand. One hospital. 100 doses a day. The other hospital (long ago booked out) required previously being registered there. Edited July 12, 2021 by Jingthing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we're not being jerked around! Perish the thought! We're likely also competing with foreign residents outside Bangkok, on top of dose slots going to hospital friends and relatives and hi-sos, and on top of that, a shortage of vaccines. And I now have to agree, foreigners are barely going to get a look in. Period. PS I just saw law ling's 100-a-day post. A spit in the ocean. So, yeah, not a bloody chance. Might as well throw in the towel. Edited July 12, 2021 by Kaoboi Bebobp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medina21 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I tried phyathai2international.com at 09:00 today. Got 'server can't connect' message. Kept trying until 09:20 without success. Left it until 10:00 and got message saying 'sorry, quota for the day is full'. Now there is a message saying the quota is 100 per day!!! How can we register when the site won't load? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swm59nj Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Registration at Samitivej finally completed after about 4 1/2 hours including waiting to connect. I logged on at 10am. Then it finally brought me to the confirmation page showing the amount I have to pay. When i clicked ok to submit payment it didnt do anything, After trying for about 30 minutes I got a message saying Vaccines are now fully booked. Check back again for update July 13, at 6:00 pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Bumrungrad has been equally confusing in their recent efforts to offer Moderna vaccine registrations, which they've apparently been doing the past couple days via their website. The Bumrungrad website says today's allotment is already booked, and to come back and try again tomorrow. But this afternoon on their Facebook page, they have an image post in TH language that appears to say they'll cease taking registrations via the website as of tomorrow. Their webpage also says their offer to register people for future Moderna vaccines is only open to people with a history of treatment at Bumrungrad who either A] have not yet received any vaccination or B] have received two doses of Sinovac (not quite a ringing Sinovac endorsement....) https://www.bumrungrad.com/en But then on Facebook this afternoon, they have this: Announcement of Bumrungrad Hospital Subject: Change of Registration Method for Reservation of Alternative Vaccines in Moderna Which I think says, they're halting registrations tomorrow.... If anyone has a better or different translation of the above message, please post it here. They didn't seem to have done an EN version of the same message. https://www.facebook.com/bumrungrad/posts/10159356654669941 Edited July 12, 2021 by TallGuyJohninBKK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Yeah, I think I'll be able to buy a unicorn on Shopee before I get a vaccination from the Thai gummint. 46 minutes ago, TallGuyJohninBKK said: If anyone has a better or different translation of the above message, please post it here. Just use Google Translate on your phone, use the camera option. Losing the FB translations was a huge hit not that those work on cartoons/infographics. It's just a long-winded explanation that this method is being dropped. That vaccines will be allocated to existing patients as they see fit. Tomorrow is the last day of Bumrungrad Bingo. And patients/customers should utilize the Bummie app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bumrungrad.android Maybe between the daily bingo, and their "interest list", they have enough "candidates" to sift through.

They have all this Moderna registration info on their website in English... Then they post on FB saying that that's ending tomorrow, but they haven't bothered to update their EN website, nor could they apparently be bothered to post any version of the "ending" announcement in English anywhere. And to make matters worse, the TH they did post was an image file that any web person knows can't easily be translated. And all of this from supposedly the main international / expat hospital in Thailand? Ahh, and the other day, they have a Facebook Live video news conference of sorts to explain all about their Moderna vaccination program, supposedly with EN subtitles. But then, AFAICT, they don't bother to actually post the video on FB or anywhere else afterward that I can find for those who didn't catch the "live" version of their event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system also hung up several times just when you thought you had got into it. Nevertheless a sweet spot emerged around 2pm for an hour or two when it was possible to register up to 10 names for one or two shots each, if you had pre-registered. After that it was closed. No idea why Bamrungrad felt the need to string the torture out over several days. Since they let each person book up to 20 shots, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up overbooked and weed people out or make them wait for the second batch, when or if there is one. I only got pre-registered at Samitivej because I stopped by an information desk there to enquire about it 6 weeks ago and the girl asked me to scribble my name and phone number on a scrap of paper. I didn't think anything would come of it. Edited July 12, 2021 by Dogmatix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS - As of tonight, Bumrungrad appears to have removed from their website all the info they previously had about how to register with them for the Moderna vaccine... And that would be consistent with the Thai message they posted on FB about their Moderna registrations ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
